[Tutorial] Mabinogi Heroes Setup

[john007]

Here is what I've got so far... any solution?

You haven't set up your webserver property. Drag and drop all files inside the Web folder from your server's folder to your xamp or wamp's www folder. Are you able to see the server's name on the list? Then maybe your IPs configs problems or something preventing you from entering into the characters creation's screen.

@menesoso assuming you setup everything correctly.... then its either one or more of the common error that @Aznkidd235 posted

Client Maintenance/Can't login:
As far as i know there are 4 possible reasons for this

1) thanks to bthppong he figured out that Apple's service running in the background actually interrupts the login of the vindictus client you must run Task Manager and under services tab stop the apple service as seen in the image below

2) The 2nd possible solution is the web server the client will not connect to your server if you do not have a web server running either using wamp/xampp or IIS drag the web folder to the root directory so the client can grab the endpoint.txt and connect.

3) Your Firewall may be blocking some programs from communicating. Disable firewall to see if that is the issue if you disabled and it does turn out to be the firewall just turn it back on and set it up to allow all the server .exe files through.

4) Hosts file, you must edit your host file located at "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" right-click it and open with notepad and make sure it looks like this

and/or you probably forget to edit the start.bat file to vindictus.exe -stage -dev -lang zh-tw-x-gm -noupdate .... Thats assuming you setup everything correctly: MSSQL and Wamp/xampp/IIS also your configuration on the server files.

Sorry for asking that much.. but I had re-installed the window and re-did everything again... Although I can find the server list now, but still unable gain access into the character creation....

so here is what I had got so far.





reason why I am using another website is because wamp couldn't find the MSVR110.dll even I have installed the visual c++ studio... Therefore, before using the start.bat, I will first run the Apache Start

Firewall and host were changed as told.

what is wrong ??

[tammy11]

Thanks for the tutorial got it setup. Will it ever be possible to update the client to the newest version? I think this one is missing Vella's update, even Fiona's revamp, but especially Delia.

I believe it should be possible to add new content in the future, but the current problem we are facing is that we are currently not able to edit the client unpack/repack so we cannot add our own content besides limited mods to the client.

what is wrong ??

Lol how do you go from client server maintenance issue to client refusing to start? you just went a step backwards. I think it is most likely your Hosts file looks like it is trying to connect to nexon servers.

your web server is the EndPoint.txt edited with your IP? are you using the correct start.bat? are you using 127.0.0.1 IP or LAN IP? Did you modify the .ini in the client and did you edit the Hosts file?

The start.bat is extracted from the MabinogiHeroes.7z and placed in the MHTW file.

Here is my EndPoint.txt


How do I know if I am using 127.0.0.1 IP or LAN IP? While I was starting everything... I wasn't paying attention to this part.

The hosts was added with the lines as told in first page.

My .ini in client is

[Settings]
ServerIp=localhost
ServerPort=47611

---update
I just disabled the ethernet at Network Connections.... but still inaccessible.

127.0.0.1 is localhost IP's 192.168.x.x is your LAN IPs by default the server files came with localhost IPs. There is no need to disable any connections. I have been running the server with my LAN network on as well.

Vella mercenary character is there and this server files is season3 episode1 so delia isn't added yet. Causes yesterday the official Vindictus just got Delia. According to Vindictus's wiki they are on season3 episode4.

but where else should I change in order to get into the game? I mean I have been working on setting it for days still not working...
---update
no wonder I failed so many times, I didn't even START the Heroes operating tool.

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE HELPED ME OUT !!!

I guess your web and server services are all working and running.
Run NMServer.exe before login in game.

nope, the problem is after opening the Optool, I didn't press the start button... so nothing was happening. But still, it is all fine now, thanks for helping me !

Oh haha, you haven't start all servers lol. OK glad everything work out now and enjoy. :-)

[Ochoaman]

Ack, I'm still stumped. Not sure what I missed; I combed over tutorial and still can't get it working again. Hosts file has already been adjusted, as well as the RC services running, xml/config files are set appropriately. Can't figure the issue :(

Spoiler:

This is all the logs say. RC services are confirmed to be running.

Hi Im getting error Q.Q
After I rename RcServerconfig xmlthingy's HOSTNAME to DESKTOP-EJ3819 (something like this)
I see no services running in opclient. If I restart rccserver and rcclient thing from task manager
It simply resets back to HOSTNAME and same result. How do I make the change permanent?(I tried run notepad++ with admin btw)
Also im using xampp and really new to this. Do I need to turn on Apache or Mysql?? And what for the ports? Just xampp default?
Much thanks :D

Turn on apache and put the web folder contents in htdocs.
